A city gone daft?

OK, I'll explain for those who haven't heard of, or don't give a shi hoot about the Stanley Cup
In America, the National Hockey League comes a poor second to baseball, their peculiar brand of football, basketball, NASCAR. (Almost anything really)
But, and this is a big but, it is an obsession in Canada. Nothing is more important than hockey. Nothing. (Except maybe the interminable commercials during the games as they try and sell me another f****** Dodge truck, or a Ford this. It's true, they actually stop the game so they can show a commercial on TV. Go figure!)
So the Stanley Cup is the last series of the season, a best of seven game match up between the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins. (Hence the loaded for bear reference)
I live in Vancouver so I have ever-so graciously bestowed my support on them, and those who profess to know something about the game tell me that Vancouver should win. Which will be a blessing as perhaps the whining and whinging about how long it's been since the last time will stop too.
The local paper, (rag is a far better description), would not survive without the Canucks, and they have issued a mammoth tree-slaying special edition with 56 extra pages. WTF? 56 extra pages.? There's barely 56 pages in a regular daily issue!
So, unless you're a Boston fan, wish us luck

Ah well. Until tomorrow...

EDIT: Vancouver wins game 1
